Wayans brothers try ‘Munsters’

New York — The Wayanses have long been a family of Hollywood. Now, they will be a family of monsters.

Keenan Ivory, Marlon and Shawn Wayans will write and produce a new film based on the 1960s sitcom “The Munsters,” Universal Pictures said Wednesday. The brothers are making a contemporary adaptation of the story of a monster family that never quite realizes that their ghoulish ways are different.

No casting has yet been made official, but in the last Wayans written-produced film, “White Chicks,” Marlon and Shawn starred as well. The original “Munsters” TV show ran from 1964 to 1966.

Horn makes appearance at show

Las Vegas — Roy Horn made a rare public appearance on the Las Vegas Strip, signaling thumbs-up from his wheelchair at a Cuban revue he and partner Siegfried Fischbacher are co-producing.

“He stayed for the whole show and loved it,” Dave Kirvin, a spokesman for Siegfried & Roy said Wednesday, adding that Horn met with “Havana Night Club” cast members after the Tuesday night performance.

Horn returned to Las Vegas last weekend from Denver, where he spent two weeks at Craig Hospital, a rehabilitation center for stroke and trauma victims.

The 59-year-old entertainer suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed after a near-fatal mauling by a trained tiger during a performance Oct. 3.

Britney’s video all in the family

New York — Britney Spears’ backup dancer and current fiance, Kevin Federline, can add another title to his resume: co-star.

On Wednesday, a Jive Records publicist confirmed Federline is featured in Spears’ upcoming “My Prerogative” video, set to debut in mid-September. The song, one of two new tracks off the pop star’s upcoming greatest hits CD, is a cover of Bobby Brown’s 1980s hit.

According to a message posted by Britney’s mother, Lynne Spears, on the singer’s official Web site, fans can also expect a cameo by another man close to the “Toxic” diva: her brother. Lynne Spears tells fans to “look for that good-looking hunk of a son of mine,” who has a cameo at the beginning of the video.

New York — Add Christian Dior to the list of Charlize Theron fans. The company announced Thursday that the Oscar winner will be the new face of J’adore, the fragrance that debuted in 2000.

Theron will start appearing in print ads and TV commercials next month — about the same time that ads for Chanel No. 5, featuring another Oscar winner, Nicole Kidman, debut.

“Ms. Theron was chosen because she represents modern femininity and embodies the spirit and energy of Dior,” said Pamela Baxter, CEO of Dior’s parent company.
